Fig. 1From: Evolutionary trade-offs associated with copy number variations in resistance alleles in Culex pipiens mosquitoesace-1 copy number and resistant acetylcholinesterase activity. Left panel is the number of copies of ace-1 gene estimated using quantitative PCR for the susceptible strain, SLAB and the resistance strains SR and SRQ. Right panel shows the activity of the resistant acetylcholinesterase (AChE1R) estimated through spectrophotometry for the resistant strains SR (R1 allele, orange) and SRQ (R23 allele, blue), respectivelyBack to article page
